No frame for you!
-
Associates at a Michaels craft store in Sequim refused to frame a photo of Donald Trump because it made them uncomfortable, according to the customer. While the store later claimed it was all just a misunderstanding, the customer isn’t convinced.
Greta is a frequent Michaels customer and explained to “The Jason Rantz Show” on KTTH that staff have always been pleasant with her. But that changed when she visited on Tuesday with a copy of the iconic photo of Trump, fist raised in the air, after the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. But she said the associate wouldn’t frame the photo.
“I am sorry, but I do not feel comfortable framing this print and I don’t think that anyone else in this department will feel comfortable with it, either,” Greta said the associate told her.
Greta then asked another associate she recognized if she would feel comfortable. She said the response was, “No, I don’t feel comfortable doing it either. But what I can do is reach out to the other person in our department, and I will have her call you if she is comfortable with it.”
“At this point, I quickly realized that they are not going to frame the print. So I just left politely,” Greta explained. “It was very unprofessional of them to turn me away. There is nothing morally wrong with the photo. It is a moment in history, and we should all be able to acknowledge and accept that, whether you are on the left or the right of the political spectrum.”
